NASA Education Invites Students to Drop Everything!
NASA's Dropping In a Microgravity Environment, or DIME, allows students
in high school and in middle school to design and build an experiment
that will be operated in a NASA research drop tower. This will put the
students' experiment in microgravity, just as if it were in space.
New for school year 2009-10 will be a two-part DIME with separate
competitions for high school teams and teams of students in grades 6-9.
Four teams in the high school DIME competition will be invited to visit
NASA s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and operate their
experiment in the drop tower. Four additional teams will send their
experiment to Glenn for the drop tower staff to operate it. Teams
comprised of students in grades 6-9 will compete for the opportunity to
build an experiment to be operated in the same drop tower by NASA drop
tower staff.
Proposals are due on Nov. 2, 2009. Competition selections will be
announced in mid-December and drop tower operations will be conducted
in April 2010.
The DIME competition is funded by NASA s Teaching From Space program.

NASA Announces the Waste Limitation Management and Recycling Design
Challenge
Join the Waste Limitation Management and Recycling Design Challenge and
create a Sustainable Water Recycling System for the moon.
The WLMR-DC is for students in grades 5-8. The challenge uses
real-world scenarios that meet science and mathematics content
standards. Students can participate in a formal, informal or
home-school setting.
Teams of up to six students will design a water recycling system for
the unique environment of the moon. Teams will then test their system
on a simulated wastewater stream and report results to NASA in February
2010. The winning team will earn a trip to NASA s Kennedy Space Center
in Florida.
Entries are due Feb. 1, 2010.
For more information and contest rules, please visit http://
